what i mean is that i see the whole human race as slaves to there own structure..all they do is trying to perpetuate themselves and pass the genetic code forward.withwe with direct actions or indirect thats all they basicly do and we strive for knowledge and longer lives to make ourselves more efficient and reproduce better and making the lives of our cildren better.
we are like the extension of our own dnathat has evolved in its race to become better into a form of a human being a very complex mechanism of reproduction and of defensive potential against harm.
what do u think of all this?

Catholics believe the meaning of human life is to know and love God.
With love in Christ.

To overcome nihilism. But first you must confront nihilism which you seem to be on the right path.
Humans create a sort of dogmatically complacent template over the world that grants abstract and sentimental concepts to seemingly inanimate aswell as animate objects that truly retain no such value. Such concepts are like the meaning of life, or the purpose for existence, or, more prominently, what is good and what is evil.
Truth be told, there is no meaning to life, purpose for existence nor is there an absolute truth or moral code that dictates good and evil. These are just fabrications of the mind to grant purpose and meaning in a universe that is completely devoid of such things.
In all, after one has realized this and come terms with it, he/she must shed him/herself of all moral implications, ethical obligations, and religious presuppositions imposed by society so that he/she may eventually develop his/her own individual meaning for life to call his/her own.

I believe the meaning of life is to learn as much as you can, to grow as a person, and to help others do the same while caring for other life in this world. We are the only ones that can protect the other species of life and we are the only ones that can mentally evolve and grow to be better humans.

The ultimate reason for all existence is to establish a new and better one.
Our own carbon lives are merely a stepping stone for the silicon life forms of tomorrow.

The Meaning of Life is the answer to THIS question:
God, what is Your purpose of Existence?
For God's purpose of Existence itself defines the purpose of all that exists.
I asked God that question...
God answered, "My purpose of Existence is To give life. Since you are made in My image after My likeness, then YOUR purpose of existence is to give life."
Everything that exists is an expression of God's thinking; thus, everything reflects God's thinking.
God gives life by His unique existence, and receives life when He gives life. All of existence gives life by its unique existence to that which receives life from its unique existence. This is Nature - the union of all living (eternal) things.
You are here to give life by your unique existence to that which receives life from your unique existence. So do what you love that nourishes those who love what you love.
This is your purpose.
To give life.
